Life without Internet access could be miserable in the Information Era, especially for those who are highly dependent on digitalized services. With NetZero 4G Mobile Broadband, high speed Internet on-the-go is no longer the privilege of a limited number of smartphone users with a data plan. Anyone with a laptop, tablet, or any other Wi-Fi-enabled mobile device can enjoy instant connection to the NetZero 4G wireless network in over 80 cities across the U.S.!

Our family travels quite a bit. Mobile Internet access will come in handy when we need to look up information about places we're unfamiliar with, such as restaurant reviews, temporary lodging, etc. Data plan provided by our mobile phone company is quite expensive. We frequently found ourselves desperately in search for free Wi-Fi, which, more likely than not, has unstable and insecure connections. I was super excited when NetZero kindly invited me to try out their 4G HotSpot along with a one-year data plan.

I was first impressed by how compact the hotspot device is. It's about the size of my palm, which means it can easily fit into any container, including my pocket. It also features a sleek and modern design. It is very easy to use as well. Just turn it on and use the password displayed on the device to log into the designated SECURE wireless network. Although NetZero has not yet had coverage in where I live now (Wish I were still in Dallas, lol), but it does cover a lot of highly populated metro areas. I look forward to giving it a try on our next trip.

What I love most about the NetZero 4G HotSpot is that it can provide 4G connection to up to eight devices simultaneously! So you don't have to compete with another family member when browsing the Internet on the go. It also makes it easy to transfer data between mobile devices. This is a truly unique and useful feature that none of the brands I'm aware of is currently offering their customers.

NetZero 4G Mobile Broadband is available in various flexible data plans. With the purchase of their device, you can enjoy up to one year of free monthly plan with 200 MB. The paid data plans are as low as $9.95 per month with 500 MB. It's highly affordable and sufficient for most users. Now through January 3rd, 2013, you can get 50% off all devices plus one free month for your paid data plan!
